Strong Baht and Safety Fears Weigh on Thai Tourism

Thai Lawyers File Complaint Against Fortune Teller for Panic
A believer will always be able to make a connection between what is predicted and an event in their lives. A generalised prediction in astrology, read by a million people will get a percentage of imagined accuracy. A stranger will bring news......

Thailand Struggles as Vietnam Prioritises Local Tourism
Something as simple as vaping being illegal and enforced can potentially push millions of people to choose a different location to Thailand. So many things need to change here if Thailand wants to keep tourists coming back.
